Am I the only one who remembers??

How gigantic Pacquiao's calves were/are? His power comes from sharp straight punches which launch from his legs. That power has always been there and he has always had it. Moving up in weight the way he has, has been his genetic gift from day 1. He wins because of his head movement, his warrior attitude, his angles of punches and the speed he employs.
Here are a few points I would like to remind you guys of.
1. David Diaz said he could handle his power, not his speed.
2. Cotto said he couldn't see where the punches were coming from.
3. Oscar De La Hoya said he was suprised Pacquiao didn't knock him out, he was waiting for something big and it never came.
4. The punch that took hatton's head off was the same punch tarver landed on Jones' chin... an unseen left hook from down south.

Steroids do not provide you with extra stamina and accuracy. They don't give you better head movement or hand speed. They do not provide better footwork or feints. We have all watched the progression of Manny's career and the circumstances surrounding it, and we all know Manny is the same little beast that he ever was, he's been the "prime" guy in each recent fight.
He did not beat De La Hoya from 2000.
He did not beat the Hatton who beat Kostya tzu.
He did not beat the Cotto who beat Mosley.
He did however beat all of these men, while they were still relevant.
There is nothing unexplainable going on here, we have 2 prime fighters who have made names off of slightly lesser opposition, and now they have to meet to see who is the ultimate boxer for the times.
This is all overblown for nothing. Manny Pacquiao did not come up to WW and demolish anyone uncharacteristically.
No one even mentioned steroids until Floyd Sr threw up a red flag. Stop being sheep in the boxing herd. Think about this **** for a few minutes.

 

When has manny ever struggled with stamina?
Where was the EPO talk when Manny was going the distance with top lightweights?

This all boils down to the same thing we have seen in boxing for years. The guy who trains the hardest coming out on top. Manny trains for an entire country.
Mike tyson.... Ali... Leonard... Hagler.... Ray Robinson.... Holyfield

All known for living in the gym. First guy in last guy out.
Manny and Floyd both fall into this category.

 

When did you first say "Manny could be cheating for himself."???
Before or after Floyd sr.???

This is a horrible accusation for Floyd to be making, because regardless it will throw questions into the air and taint Manny's career.
If Manny has never even been accused of cheating before, or had a failed drug test, there is no reason to start treating him like a guilty man.

 

I would love to see any thread on this forum where someone was accusing Manny Pacquiao of taking performance enhancing drugs before Floyd Sr. opened his big mouth.
He's been mostly the same fighter for as long as I can recall. He hasn't gotten bigger and more powerful, just better at using his right hand in conjunction with his great left.

 

This is just as damaging to a career as someone being accused of being a child molester or something. As soon as the accusation is thrown out, it hurts the reputation of the person whether it is true or not.
Floyd Mayweather owes Manny Pacquiao a huge apology for speculating on such career damaging accusations.
